Maximum number of directorships raised to five

Previously, directors of New York-licensed laboratories were capped at overseeing two state-licensed facilities (a limited exception sometimes allowed oversight of a third). Under new rules, Lab Directors may now serve at up to five clinical laboratories or blood banks, or any combination of the two within or outside New York State. This aligns with the federal regulations under CLIA, which also allow for a total of five laboratories to be overseen by a single Lab Director.
